I hope 47 is refilling our Strategic Reserve. I doubt that oil prices will go much lower, as that would push producers in more costly areas to stop pumping and drilling, and that would stop drill, baby, drill enthusiasm. How full are tanks at Cushing? Has China been borrowing our money to buy their reserves?
Regarding Chinese intentions. Other thoughts include: planning to invade parts of Siberia to reclaim land once controlled by China, and get some oil properties in the process. I suspect China is busy with the Xi problem and its solution. I also suspect their Taiwan wishes are on hold, as they reconsider the demonstrated weakness of Russia as affording a more auspicious possibility for action. The new conservative, hard line leadership in Japan also requires some thought and possible action/reactions.

Interesting report on probable Russian use of Estonian ferry wreckage. Possible solution, make wreck go big BOOM, problem gone. No more surveillance or training site for Russia.
Once again lower human losses, but higher equipment losses, and very high drone losses. Sign of continuing change in Russian tactics?
A few months ago, they stopped using heavy equipment in their attacks, as it is being knocked out by drones, and have instead been using smaller groups of soldiers who are doing everything they can to advance on motorcycles. This means a lot of fodder for the Great Meat Grinder.
Apparently also for the Steel Grinder. I hope Ukraine is able to salvage all that broken battlefield equipment for their steel mills and drone factories.
